WAVELINE

We build the layer between where you are and where you need to be.

Waveline makes live indoor positioning — the technology behind a real-time "blue dot" wherever GPS can't reach — and turns it into AI-guided navigation for the places people move through every day.

TECHNOLOGY

How the live position works

GPS doesn't work indoors, so every Waveline product fuses three signal sources instead.

BLE Beacons

Small transmitters installed roughly every 50–100m through common areas, giving 3–5m positioning accuracy.

Wi‑Fi Signal

Reuses the building's existing Wi‑Fi network as a no-extra-hardware fallback layer for coarse positioning.

Motion Sensors

The phone's own accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass fill in movement between beacon readings, keeping the blue dot smooth.

Built on recurring revenue, not one-off fees

Every Waveline product is led by monthly B2B subscriptions — venues and tenants pay for visibility, analytics, and promotion — rather than a single upfront placement fee.

It's a deliberate choice: recurring revenue compounds instead of resetting to zero, matches how venues already budget, and funds the ongoing work of keeping each live map accurate.

Tenant & venue subscriptions for placement visibility, analytics dashboards, and promoted events — the same model across MallWave and GateView, adapted to each venue's tenants.
